Landed cost & import duty calculator

Landed cost = goods value + shipping + insurance + customs duty + import tax. Which of those apply — and who collects them — depends on the destination's thresholds. Set your destination, origin, and values below; every threshold and rate used is cited to an official source.

Landed cost ≈ USD 79.5 (goods 60 + logistics 12 + duty 7.5 + tax 0)

  • US Section 301 forced-labor duty (12.5%, china origin) Official factIn force since 12:01 a.m. EDT 2026-07-24 (CBP CSMS #69326983), replacing the expired Section 122 surcharge. Rate is set by country of origin; steel/aluminum, vehicles, pharma and a few categories are exempt (they carry Section 232 tariffs instead).USD 7.5
  • No duty-free de minimis (the $800 exemption is suspended for all origins) Official factUSD 0

Assumption: Product (HS-based MFN) duty rate assumed 0% because you didn't provide one — most goods have a nonzero rate, and China-origin goods may owe Section 301 duties (7.5–25% by product list) on top.

Assumption: China origin: Section 301 duties (7.5–25% by product list; higher on targeted categories) apply per your product's list — include them in the HS rate you enter.

What changes this answer

  • Country of origin now sets the US trade-action rate directly: Section 301 forced-labor duties are 12.5% for China/Vietnam/Brazil/Russia and others, 10% for Canada/Mexico/India/UK and others (effective 2026-07-24).
  • Exempt categories (steel/aluminum/copper, vehicles, pharma, civil aircraft) skip this tariff — but carry their own Section 232 duties instead, so 'exempt' rarely means duty-free.
  • Your product's HS/MFN rate (plus Section 301 China duties for China origin) stacks on top — know it before pricing.

Why the same parcel lands at very different costs

Each destination draws its lines differently. The US suspended its $800 de minimis, so essentially every commercial import owes duty — since July 24, 2026 that's a Section 301 forced-labor tariff of 10% or 12.5% set by country of origin (China/Vietnam 12.5%, Canada/Mexico/UK 10%, and so on) plus the product's HS rate. The UK flips VAT collection to your checkout at or below £135. The EU collects VAT through IOSS at or below €150 — and since July 2026 also charges a temporary €3-per-item duty there, after abolishing its €150 duty exemption. Canada, Australia, and Japan each keep their own thresholds.

The calculator applies the destination's current rules with each rate cited. Where an answer depends on your product's HS classification, you supply that rate — we don't guess product duty rates.

Common questions

Is the customs value the price I charge?
Usually it's the transaction value of the goods. Some destinations add shipping into the taxable base for import VAT — the calculator handles that per destination.
Why do you ask for my HS duty rate?
Product-level duty depends on HS classification, which depends on material, function, and composition. Guessing it would produce false precision; enter your rate or use the origin tariffs alone as a floor.
